Mr.. Secretary Lamar, IN his late ad-
dress AT Charleston On the unveil-
ing Of the monument to the
South Carolina statesman, says that
MIR. Calhoun b ased "his opposition to
the Mexican war on the belief that it
would result In the acquisition of ter
TitOry hostile to slavery" etc.
Hence he opposed such policy,
Lest slavery should give way,
Would rather mighty empires lOse
Than freedom rule today.
Could only by his country stand,
On certain sad conditions,
To which be- ever sought to add
Impossible additions.
Could only serve her well and fully.
His native land, provided
He could sustain dying cause,
Whose doom was then decided.
If frePman's press he deemed TOO strong,
Would make it laws concern,
To stop the mails upOa their way,
And all such papers burn.
His favuritc theme, ''the rights OF states.
Through all his speeches ran,
Ignoring cen nobler one,
The sacred rights OF man;
Was ever tinkering slavery's chain.

With some as hand, all ready wrought,
To make IL somewhat longer.
And then mongrel government
DID he, ut last, propose,
Two presidents, at once, for us,
From his sick chamber rose.
IT'S sad to think, that one so high.
Should here, have allen go low,
Win faculties so keen, have failed
Eternal truths To know.
That one OF iron, whom all men knew,
Should have been made to bend.
And give the sanction of his name
TO evils without end.
That slavery should, with impious hand,
Have gTaspyd him in her might;
In night, have cast IA peoples pride,
Their hope and promise bright.
Then should we wonder, here, today,
On calling this to mind,
A conflict, great, came on our land,
When such rs he, WAS blisd?
Now that such curse. had here such
power,
Der one, so strong and brave,
Should make us thankful that ID sleeps
Forever, in it's grave.
